"Hypercomputing" Zeno machines
by Prof Petrus H. Potgieter, University of South Africa, Pretoria

Tuesday 13 September 2005, 16h00, M 111 (Seminar Room)

Abstract

The talk will briefly review the origin and application of the Church-Turing thesis (or rather, theses) and consider the oldest and perhaps the most straight-forward idea in "hypercomputation": Zeno machines. The halting problem will be discussed in a generalised context and w.r.t. to these Turing machines with accelerating clock.
